Another hot day, light wind.

Ennio Graber  has already got the title but who will be stand on the rest of podium will be
decided depend on this round. Also team ranking will be decided.

From the first group,there are 2 pilots from team Italy.
Same as usual, they performed stably and dynamically.
Fabio Livi 215.5 points
Stefano Lucchi 210.5 points

Next group, Ari Holmstrom who is currently at the 2nd place.
He performed stably at this round too but the score couldn't get that high. 
Ari Holmstrom 202.5 points

Here is Uwe Kiesewetter ,currently  at  the 4th place and  Bernhard Egger  3rd place.
They are both possible to stand on the podium.
Firstly  Uwe Kiesewetter . Performed very carefull hovering manoeuvres.
He received applause from the crowd during his performance, "loop and roll" .
But unfortunately  next manoeuvre "flip with harf roll" didn't go well and this led his score
hold down.
Uwe Kiesewetter 207.5 points

Nextly  Bernhard Egger . According to him,compare to engine helicopter, it is difficult to
get used to with because feeling of  hovering is different. But as far as looking at his
performance,he never look like he is having any difficulity but he is handling very well.
Though expected a high score,coldn't reach to Fabio Livi .
Bernhard Egger 214.5 points

Depending on  Ennio Graber 's  score in the last group,the ranking of top pilots will be
changed.
Winning flight has started. Looking at his flight, he performed very stable than ever.
Flip rate was incredible and autorotation is successed. everyone expected a high score.
In the end,he earned the highest score at this competition.
Ennio Graber 235.5 points

There was an annual heli event in Detroit on 25th to 27th/June.

Here is a report from Scott.

New Team JR/Horizon member "Big D" Darrell Bell put on another annual
heli event in Detroit.  The field is nice with 3 flight lines. 
About 110 pilots attended including many well known heli pilots 
representing most heli brands.  

Event was 3 days of general flying and demos.  I did some setups for
people and allowed some pilots to fly my Vibe 90SG heli.  
This went well until during one flight with another pilot at the 
controls it boom struck and crashed!  Turns out it was older O-ring 
dampeners and this probably allowed too much blade movement.  
Damage was not too bad,and even though there was a crash, those who
tried it really liked how it flew!

I also flew Super Gracy with SY90 and flybarless Vibe 90SG.
Flybarless helis are becoming very popular, and there were many types 
at this event.

Most pilots had JR servos, JR or Spektrum radios, and about 50% nitro,
50% electric helis.  Seems most pilots like Nitro for bigger helis 
since it is less charging and batteries to carry around.  
Nitro was more popular for 90 size 3D helis.

A great event, relaxed atmosphere with good friends and pilots.
    
    
    

Thank you Scott!
